Upgraded Mac Mini to 10.6.4 now have sound problems

Just upgraded my mac mini to 10.6.4 and now have sound distortion. Itunes is extremely tinny sounding, fades in and out, distorted and muffled sounding continually. Sound worked fine since I purchased it back in november but now since the update it is distorted. I also notice that if I listen using iphone headphones the sound is just as distorted.
Any ideas how to resolve this? I tried reloading itunes, checked sound/speaker preferences, rebooted the system a couple times, unhooked speakers and reconnected them. I am totally frustrated with this.
thanks for any help on this issue.

have you repaired permission before and after the upgrade ?
also, did you use *software update* from the  menu to install the upgrade ?
if so, download the combo updater from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048 and apply it.

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Upgraded Mac Mini to 10.8.3 - now i get sound distortion

I have a 2009 mac mini connected up to a theatre system and a big screen tv.
Its been working fine, until I upgraded to 10.8.3 and now the sound is distorted. I've rebooted, killed coreaudiod, removed any extra plugins from /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins to no avail. Its still broken.
Anyone got any ideas ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copying and pasting as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Mac mini 2.4GHz iTunes or Frontrow have sound and no picture.

I have had a mac mini 2.4Ghz since February and keep having the following problems:
1 - Every time I turn it on all videos through iTunes or Front Row have sound and no picture. If I reset it this resolves the problem but this is getting annoying.
2 - Occasionally the desktop background losses all my setting and diverts back to the standard setting. It done this today and now won't go back to my preferences.
3 -
I have tried the suggestion to delete Front Row Playlists and tried it with the screensaver turned off, no success.

Hi there and thanks for the response... I can push the disc so it's almost entirely in the drive, but the drive still won't 'accept' and take it in.
It's a moot point now, being less than 14 days since the purchase I qualify for a replacement so I've taken the mini back. Here's hoping the next one works 100%!
Thanks again

How to upgrade Mac mini server Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion

Trying to upgrade Mac mini server running Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I downloaded Mountain Lion and about to install but a warning prompt tells me server functionality will be lost until server.app is applied. What is involved in doing that?

What's involved? Buy and load OS X Server; that's now a Mac App Store app.
That'll get you Server.app.
Server.app is the GUI tool that is used to manage recent versions of OS X Server, along with (increasingly) the command line management of the features that are not exposed through the Server.app tool.

Thank you PatriciaBruhn unfortunately the error is a bit generic. The best I can offer would be for you to try the steps listed in Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-f reezes-mac.html. These are generic troubleshooting steps and are great when the exact cause of the problem is unknown. I am not sure if the time and effort of going through the steps will be useful though as you may still run into difficulties. I might also suggest trying Photoshop Elements 10 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html or Photoshop CS5 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html and seeing if either one of those fit your needs. Depending on what you use Photoshop 7 for you may find that Photoshop Elements can do the job plus have additional capabilities not even thought of during the time of Photoshop 7's development. Both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS5 have a minimum system requirement of 10.5.8 so as long as your system meets the remaining requirements then they should work fine on your computer.

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

I want to Connect my Mac Mini as a Slave to a Mac pro Server while at the same time using the Mac mini's thunderbolt ports peripherals ( ie monitor, Sound Card, Hard drives) Creating a poor man's new mac Pro. Can this be Done?

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

Help-upgraded mac mini to lion and now getting spinning ball

I just downloaded and install Lion on a mac mini and I'm getting the old spinning beach ball from ****. Any suggestions? Can I just turn it off and restart?

Hold down the power button down until the screen goes black. Do not disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet to turn your Mini off.
Wait a minute then try restarting.

Upgrading Mac Mini 2.1 (2007/08) from 1GB to 4GB RAM

Just joined, this is my first question.
Done plenty of reading on macupgrades; everymac; eshop.macsales; and macminiramupgrade..............so I know what I want to do and just want someone to confirm the right spec RAM if I give you a couple of part numbers of what I plan to purchase. Firstly:-
I have done the checks and my Mac Mini is a 2.1, 2007/08, annoyingly bought just before the next generation came out in the spring of 2009. The model ref is A1176. It only has 1gb (2 x 512mbs) of RAM. The main objective is to take advantage of icloud now we have two other apple devices (iphone4s and Ipad2). So to get there I have to upgrade the operating system from Leopard to Snow Leopard (which needs 1gb of RAM) and then upgrade again to Lion (which critically needs 2gb of RAM). Fundamentally it is imperative I upgrade the RAM and if I am going to have a go at that I might as well go to the limit of what my Mac Mini can take and I believe it can take just over 3gbs according to what I have read. That means using a 4gb kit (2 x 2gbs).
I have scrutinised the spec of the recommended RAM on macupgrades but that is with a view to only upgrading to 2gbs (2 x 1gb). They quote a Kingston 1GB DDR2 PC5300 SODIMM 200 PIN, unbuffered, non EEC etc. I cannot find any detail on the help websites that quote a 2x2gb upgrade (on my Mac Mini) although as I said I know it can be done even though you won't be able to use the whole 4gb.
I have found 2GB RAM from safe manufacturers such as Crucial and Kingston which are exactly the same spec. Please can someone have a look at and say that will do it?
Quick find code on Ebuyer.com for Kingston RAM is 121416..................just done it and it goes straight to the relevant page.
Went to the Crucial.com website for their product, put in the code CT2KIT25664AC667 in the search field and went straight to the product.
Always appreciate help from those in the know.

OWC is a US site which does ship overseas. You could look at the Samsung 2GB memory they carry and see if you can get it locally. It's Samsung part number M470T2953CZ3-CE6. I've had good luck with Samsung memory in various mac systems.
While you didn't ask this, you probably know that the benefit to using two 2GB memory (versus 2+1) is that the Intel architecture will run a little faster, around 3% to 5%+, since matched memory enables dual channel memory access.
See this article about installing Lion over Leopard. Snow Leopard is no longer available from Apple stores or Apple online. In the US, and I would assume other countries that have an Apple online store, you can call and order Snow Leopard off the legacy products list. Likewise, Lion is no longer available for download. However, you can contact the Apple online store and they can either sell you the USB stick with Lion on it, or, in the US I'm told they can sell you a code to download Lion online. That may require Snow Leopard if done through the App store.
I'm bouncing around a little here, so bear with me. On your question of Lion running in 3GB, not knowing exactly what you're running, I really can't answer that. I can point out that some people have been OK with Lion in 2GB, however, as you've read, many others have required a memory upgrade to, typically, 4GB. Right now, the Lion system I'm on is an iMac that is only using 2.98GB in wired+active memory. Applications running are mail, Chrome browser, and activity monitor.
You may want to post a discussion question in the Lion discussion area here on others 3GB (2x2GB memory cards) Lion experience on your 2007/2008 mini 2,1. Or of course on the mini discussion here.
If I've confused more than helped, I plead that it's been a long day! Any other questions, please let me know.

Upgrade mac mini to windows 8

Hi,
I am running windows 7 32bit on my 2010 mac mini, and wish to upgrade to windows 8. So 2 questions:
1. I do NOT have OSX installed anywhere on this machine, so how can I get the latest bootcamp drivers for my machine? Running bootcamp assistant is not an option, unless running it from my macbook air (2010) somehow would work.
2. Is there any way to upgrade from win 7 32bit to win 8 64bit? Or do I have to do a fresh install?
Thanks!

How is whether or not win8 is 'supported' relevant? I could be upgrading from winXP to Win7, the problem is the same. I can edit my question and remove 'win8' from it if this troubles you that win98 is not supported. But it still doesnt change the question. And I run win8 on two other macs. It may be unsupported but it works great.
I changed the drive out on this mini a long time ago, and just installed win7 directly. So no OSX (as I said). At that time, I was able to download bootcamp drivers from Apple directly- now it seems you need bootcamp assistant to get the latest drivers.
Will Command + R allow me to download the bootcamp drivers (for win7 for example) for my hardware? As I understand it that will allow me to use the OSX recovery tools- but as I said, I dont have OSX on this machine.
So this response doesnt really help me with my question.
